"As President of Ireland, may I express my deepest condolences to the family and friends of Tomi Reichental.

Tomi made an exceptional contribution to Irish society, bringing his personal experience of Bergen-Belsen and of his family's suffering in the Holocaust to public attention and, through his experiences, made a very significant contribution to the causes of peace and understanding.

He will be deeply missed by all those who had the privilege of learning from him."
